Description

The Acoustic Energy AE1 Active bookshelf speakers deliver audiophile-grade sound quality with the convenience of an active speaker system.

Designed for hi-fi enthusiasts, professionals, and music lovers, the AE1 Active provides an accurate, dynamic, and immersive listening experience without the need for an external amplifier.

Each speaker features a 125mm aluminium mid-bass driver and a 25mm pure piston ceramic tweeter, driven by dedicated Class A/B amplifiers for a refined and powerful performance.

The internally braced MDF cabinet is engineered to minimise resonance, while the rear-ported bass reflex system ensures deep, controlled low frequencies.

Whether used in a desktop setup, hi-fi system, or professional studio environment, the AE1 Active speakers offer exceptional clarity, detail, and accuracy.
